Polly Paulusma - Leaves from the Family Tree (2012)

In 2003 Paulusma was happily putting the finishing touches to shed-recorded debut album ?Scissors in my Pocket? when Bjork?s label One Little Indian signed her up and catapulted her round the world for six years, supporting Bob Dylan, Jamie Cullum, Joseph Arthur, Coldplay and many others. Now she?s set up her own label Wild Sound and is releasing her third offering, Leaves from the Family Tree. From humble musical beginnings in a garden shed, Polly Paulusma was signed to Bjork?s label One Little Indian in 2003 and in 2004 released her self-produced, home-shed-recorded debut album Scissors In My Pocket to international critical acclaim. Uncut Magazine gave Scissors In My Pocket **** calling her ?the finest young female British singer-songwriter to emerge over the last 12 months? (in a year that saw Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone step into the limelight). The Independent heralded her ?the most literate songwriter of her generation?. Scissors? was playlisted on BBC Radio 2 and championed by Michael Parkinson and Terry Wogan, to name but a few.

In 2012 (and two children later), Paulusma now releases her third album, Leaves from the Family Tree. She is founder of label Wild Sound and the proud owner of a caravan called Ella (to make touring with her young family a possibility ? but only in the school holidays!). On this joyful third album, she has e-collaborated with folk heroes Adem and Erin McKeown, rock violin diva Anna Phoebe and acclaimed film composer Michael Price of recent Sherlock fame, combining recordings from her garden shed, Pinewood Studios, and everywhere in between to create an insightful representation of the joys and complications of modern family life.
